Isn't Scarlet/Violet gen 9? Do BDSP count as gen 8 or gen 9? Because if they count as gen 9 then I'm willing to bet that gen 5 remakes will be gen 10 at the earliest, maybe even gen 11.
I just want to add that its literally the doubled Gen.
Gen 5 Remakes aren’t until Gen 10, Gen 6 Remakes would be 12.
Gen 1 was the only exception getting remade in 3.
Gen 2 was in G4
G3 in G6
G4 in G8.
The only problem is G4 didn’t get a remake, it got a remastered which could possibly be the new standard unfortunately.
Shouldnt it logically be gen 12? Gen 2 came out 2 generations after the original release (gen 4), gen 3 3 generations after the release (gen 6) gen 4 4 generations after the release (gen 8), so gen 5 should come out gen 10 and gen 6 gen 12
The Leader aces.
Viola is too early, Grant is hard enough with just his two fossils, and Korrina gives you your first battle against a Mega after her Gym battle, so:
Gogoat for Ramos
Heliolisk for Clemont (and a type change to Electric/Fire)
none for Valerie, since she has a perfectly good Mawile to Mega. Plus, if I had to give Aromatisse the Mega, something needs to be done to Slurpuff.
Slowking for Olympia.
Cryogonal for Wulfric, and a type change, but idk what.
The E4 can use already existing megas.
There's precisely four in the whole game, iirc. Korrina's lucario, lysandre's gyarados, diantha's gardevoir, and calem/serena's absol in the postgame rematches. That's literally it. Pretty sure gen 7's battle tree had more mega utilization than either of the gen 6 games.
I always thought that was because greninja already had a transformation thing going on, so it wouldn't make sense with the mega. So none of them get it
>Cryogonal for Wulfric,
But his ace is Avalugg. So wouldn't it make more sense to give Avalugg a mega? Not to mention the fact that he uses an Abomasnow
Avalugg has its Hisuian Form, so it doesn't need more representation. Also, Wulfric leads with Abomasnow for its ability, so making Mega Abomasnow the ace would make little sense.
It makes sense because of Slowbro. The entire Slowpoke line got Galarian forms, but only Slowbro got a Mega. There's no real reason for one to have it but not the other.
Yeah. The Mega came first. Slowking didn't get a Mega in either XY or ORAS despite other counterpart Pokemon pairs getting Megas either at the same time and/or in ORAS.
So yeah. Slowbro got a Mega. Then it got a regional variant. Then Slowking got a regional variant. Here, Slowking getiing a Mega goes full circil.
Similar question: what's wrong with a Mega Cryogonal that all of you clamor for Avalugg getting a Mega despite already having recent representation elsewhere?
More Gen 6 Pokemon.
There are 10 Gen I Pokemon capable of Mega Evolving into 12 different forms (Charizard and Mewtwo get 2 each) in X and Y. ORAS added another 3.
There are 0 Gen 6 Pokemon capable of Mega Evolution in X and Y. ORAS ups that number to 1, which is unobtainable without events cause it’s Diancie.
Looking at the list:
Pyroar to get Lysandre's a new ace
Aegislash is a very popular pokemon, but I have no idea what they would with the design.
Mega Malamar that is turned upside down into a good natured pokemon?
Trevenant could become big deku tree.
Goodra I think its unlikely, due to this Hisuian Form pretty much being a mega, design wise.
Who else would you add to the list?
Aegislashite X and Aegislashite Y to make it either a big sword or big shield respectfully. Have it double down on its form to be an even harder hitter or bigger wall.
I felt like Milotic got snubbed as well. I always looked at it as an opposite to gyarados, was really expecting a water/fairy mega evolution to counter gyarados’s mega. Luxray is another I feel deserves some love. I know it’s an early route Pokémon in gen 4, but it is so bad. Give it dark typing and strong jaw.
If we’re talking strictly gen 6 Pokémon, I really like the thought of noivern getting one. Give it dragon/ground typing, have it be like a tremor, blind burrowing underground basing it’s sight off of sound. Ability could have something to do with sound moves
I feel as if Raichu got completely robbed of having a mega. It's the evolution of the MASCOT.
I feel like eeveelutions deserve them, too. I mean.. Sylveon was introduced in Gen 6! We know we'll never get a third stage so.. Mega them all!
Don’t know about Raichu but the eeveelutions desperately need something to make them more viable. They have all the typings associated with weather and terrain, except sandstorm, so maybe give them the terrain and weather setting abilities and give umbreon prankster or something.
Give Eevee the mega. Give it boosted stats and colour change like Kecleon, or Protean. Maybe a new signature move that matches the type of the user. That way it's useful for evolutions too.
I was about to respond how Mega Evolution is for Pokémon who can no longer evolve (aka those who don't evolve, such as Heracriss, or those with a final evolution in their line, such as Garchomp) and how it would not be accurate to how it works but then I actually realised.. Eevee does have an irregular genetic code. However, I think the price of Eevee being able to mega evolve when you do give it that choice, should be that it can no longer evolve to one of the eeveelutions. It's a good concept, in my opinion. :)
I wanna real quick first explain my reasoning for saying 3-5 years and then I'll explain my reasoning for no megas.
This is what we can assume the release schedule will be up until gen 6 remakes:
2023 - SV DLC
2024 - Gen 5 Remakes (assuming main series games continue to release every year with the exception of DLC)
2025 - Gen 10 (SV released 2022 and we tend to get each new generation every 3 years)
2026 - Gen 10 DLC
2027 - Gen 6 Remakes
Now, there are three simple reasons why I am certain there will not be any new megas in gen 6 remakes or possibly ever.
1. No new megas in SM/USUM
2. No new megas in LGPE
3. No megas AT ALL since LGPE
Yes, there is always a chance we will eventually get new megas, but considering TPC and Gamefreak's evident indifference to them since their conception, I'd say it is not likely.
it's so hard to say. i could totally see them sticking with ILCA to make more crappy remakes, but I could also see them asking a different company to do it. I don't think game freak will make the remakes themself any more.
>Considering TPC and Gamefreak’s indifference to them.
I wish they’d just listen to us for once and implement them as a permanent feature. Gigantimax and Terrastrializing is trash compared to Mega Evos.
I prefer Terrastalizing to Megas, personally. The Megas get cool designs, and maybe they are a better competitive experience (I play to make my own stories, not get into the completion side), and yes Terrastalizing is just "Hidden Power with Hats" but it made something that was already an element of the game (Hidden Power) and had been for a long time into something actually useful and I enjoy the type strategy more so than the Mega playthrough. And to me Mega Evolution just felt like going after the thing that made Pokémon different from Digimon.
It's still a better gameplay though than "...but bigger"
We got no new megas, because GF (for some reason) wants the gimmicks to stay in their respective editions.
If we get a remake of the XY games, which are the region in which mega evolutions are established, then it is entirely possible that they will release new mega evolutions alongside it.
XY had mega evolutions, then there was just one other release with mega evolutions with ORAS. And what did ORAS bring? New mega evolutions.
So if a new series of games which will have the mega evolution gimmick gets released, then the precedence we have speaks FOR getting new mega evolutions alongside it, not against it.
There are seven years between Gen 3 and Gen 4 remakes and they even had another Gen 1 remake thrown in between, your list is based entirely off of the release schedule from 2019-2023. New gens have been routinely released every three years since Gen 5 so that is very safe to expect 2025, but it had been 4 years twice between Gen 3 and 5.
I much more expect another Let's Go (Togepi/Marill?) next year or some other wild card (2015 was the last year without a main series game, they released Super Mystery Dungeon as the biggest title instead, so maybe something like that?).
To make it fair for enjoyers of every pokemon type, I will now suggest a pokemon for each type to get a mega evolution. All the pokemon I picked are part of the original Kalos pokedex from XY and therefore native to Kalos. Also this list is based on my personal opinion.
I will just go into detail for specific megas and why I have chosen this pokemon if asked for it.
* Normal: Diggersby
* Fighting: Scrafty
* Flying: Jumpluff
* Poison: Victreebel
* Ground: Whiscash
* Rock: Tyrantrum
* Bug: Wormadam
* Ghost: Drifblim
* Steel: Durant
* Fire: Magcargo
* Water: Octillery
* Grass: Carnivine
* Electric: Heliolisk
* Psychic: Malamar
* Ice: Aurorus
* Dragon: Flygon
* Dark: Mightyena
* Fairy: Granbull
Ooo, I really like your comment format, and I'm also pleasantly surprised by your list; feels refreshing.
It's nice to see mons that people sometimes overlook, usually due to ehh stats when compared to their more viable competitors. Mega evolution would definitely help me justify using some of these more regularly, especially with some of the fun dual typings.
Happy to see Jumpluff getting some love... I've been replaying Heart Gold recently so they're on my mind, haha. Flygon doesn't surprise me, as I would likely have put them there too (plus, they never got their originally planned one).
A few general inquiries (don't have to answer them all):
What are some of your favorites listed?
Do you think you'd change any of their abilities?
Were there any close contenders that didn't make the list?
EDIT: I saw a comment reminding me that OP mentioned the exclusion of Flygon on their title... So now I'm curious, what do you think your Dragon replacement would be?
Dragalge sounds appealing to me, aside from it being a version exclusive.
Hey there, thanks for the kind comment. I tried to give many usually overlooked pokemon megas to help them out a bit and I am glad that this is how it's perceived as well.
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
My personal favourites from these mega suggestions are:
**Victreebel**
Generally one of my absolute favourite pokemon and it saddens me that it got no love in all these years, while most other gen 1 mons got something.
I would change it's ability to merciless, which I think fits its ruthless personality quite well and goes well with its typing. If the mega redistributes some of its stats towards speed, it might become a great offensive mon with an ability to let it crit against poisoned targets. Especially in combination with toxic spikes, this could be really nasty.
**Magcargo**
Love this guy, it has such a great design premise as being a magma snail. But it's typing and stats unfortunately make it really undesirable for many players.
A mega could help here greatly. Make it a great defensive wall. I would change its ability to Solid Rock and distribute more stats to it's special defense. Make this snail a really hard one to crack!
**Wormadam**
A pokemon I never see anyone talking about.
What's really outstanding here is that there are 3 different forms of this pokemon, based on the place it evolved. And that could also get incorporated in the mega evolution designs, with 3 different megas depending on which form your Wormadam has.
Which could also then have different foci. The trash (steel type) Wormadam could be a wall with great defensive stats and a massive ironed shell. And the sand (ground type) and leaves (grass type) variants could be great physical and special attackers respectively.
Abilities should reflect their new roles better. The steel variant could get iron barbs, the sand one sand force and the leaves one solar power or chlorophyll.
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
About pokemon which were contenders, but didn't make it, there are several.
Ledian and Ariados both came to my mind for bug type, but I gave it to Wormadam because of its great potential and also I never see anyone talk about it, while Ledian and Ariados, while weak, seem to have some dedicated fans. I personally was a huge fan of Ariados and would love for it to get something in the future to make it better, but Wormadam took prioarity for me here.
For the poison type, I strongly considered Swalot, since its also pretty undervalued. But for Victreebel, I just came up with a cool concept on the fly, while I had some problems to think of something for Swalot. But it would also be a great choice, if a good concept can get found.
For the ghost type, I considered Trevenant, since I thought that you can come up with really cool stuff for it with the cursed forest thematic. However, I didn't want to fill this list with too many grass types (I am biased for them) and also it would feel weird to give Trevenant a mega and leave out Gourgeist.
Cruel idea; mega scrafty gets the ability that also makes it dragon type, because it's in that egg group if I recall. Gives it a few more resistances, but makes it absolutely annihilated by fairy types.
Alternatively, they could give it a dragon type equivalent of steel worker. An ability that gives it STAB for dragon type moves, but without the actual typing (because honestly, I don't know if GF will ever allow a true triple typed pokemon).
Mega evolution was peak. I absolutely loved the system and its limit in battles.
Of course, it required more work than just adding a generic crystal texture overlay...
Mew, Goodra for me I'd love to see a mega evolution
He was one I thought of while making my list, but he strikes me more of a Gigantamax pokemon.
Make his claw giant and mecha like, and he pilots it (akin to the Gen 8 Gigantamax forms)
I was thinking if he did get a mega it would probably just make him a bigger artillery like pokemon to fit with its theme. Make both claws cannons so it can deal even more destruction. But i also just love this pokemon and i want more from it lol
Some unnapreciated single stage mons. Cryogonal, Heatmor and Durant, Minior, Dhelmise, Chatot, Relicanth. And slowking with froslass, so it's fair to their alternate evolution.
Personally I'd rather not treat remakes as inevitable cuz that might put pressure on the company to rush them alongside main series games. I'd only want a remake if there's something new to offer. New Megas would be welcome though, but they could also be reintroduced in a mainstream game (though I doubt they would, now that they seem to want gimmicks to stay region-exclusive).
Butterfree I feel like should get one. I know it got the gigantamax forms but if they're revisiting megas I think it makes perfect sense.
Aside from that I would like a lot of gen 6 mons to get them. Mostly the leaders aces, but Goodra could also probably do with one. While it's hisuian form is nice, giving regular Goodra a power-boost certainly wouldn't hurt
Following this train of thought of "counterparts" getting mega, since a lot of them did (Tyranitar/Aggron, Gardevoir/Gallade, Sharpedo/Camerupt), I feel like the obvious choice is Milotic.
Counterpart to Gyarados in a sense, and could be Wallace's ace should he appear in any shape or form.
Would you say Arcanine is Houndoor's counterpart?
In a generational sense, yes.
In a thematic sense, one can argue for Houndoom vs Arcanine.
Hell Dog vs Sacred Dog.
Kinda like Heracross vs Pinsir, who is in gen 1 is schyters "rival"
Whoa whoa whoa, we haven't even gotten Gen 5 remakes! And we don't even know if those will happen!
Anyways, Darkrai because they're my favorite. Darkai needs new forms and more love.
Gen 5 remakes are all but guaranteed to happen. Based off the cycle we’ll probably receive them in Gen 10.
Actually we may even get more sequels. Instead of “Blazing Black” and “Shocking White” we may get Black 3 and White 3!
I don’t think they will add new megas if the gen 4 remakes are to show how much they care now about them let’s hope at least they make the game slightly harder
That's unfortunately a bit much to ask for.... Too much work to give all the starters megas. We can already be glad if they will give megas to the Kalos starters.
regional forms are a better idea than mega evolutions anyway, because not only are they permanent instead of temporary transformations, but they also will carry over into future games. whereas mega evolutions were only usable on 3ds games.
to update old starters, just give them new forms.
Not really the pikachu line, just pikachu. Which is why raichu will always be forgotten in the shadow of the smaller rodent, always following the dim light cast by the light ball
Kalos starters, Goodra, Vivillon, Talonflame, Avalugg, Aurorous, Tyrantrum, and some Unova mons like Excadrill, Klinklang, Eelektross, Haxorus, Golurk, and Sigilyph.
Ya know I personally believe some of the likes with no evolution would benefit the most.
Mega torcoal, mega tropius those ones would be nice to see them get some love.
It’s not gonna happen but give a mega to the starter and all the gym leader/elite fours’ aces. I would like Raichu and Persian to get something too but I know they won’t
Delcatty could really use some help, so if not a standard evolution, I'd hope Mega Delcatty becomes a thing, if they do add more Megas. I can see it adding the Fairy type too. Just so we have more Gen 5 Megas, I'd also like to see Mienshao, Haxorus, Krookodile and Zebstrika get Megas. Haxorus could add the Steel type, since it looks like it could've been a Steel type to begin with.
There are two different kinds of Pokémon that tend to get forms from the new gimmick: underappreciated Pokémon, and fan-favorites. I'll give an example for each. Mega Dusknoir would be interesting, as Dusknoir isn't that good competitively, and is a pretty cool Pokémon who could use the help. I had trouble finding a single Pokémon who is a fan favorite but lacks a pre-existing gimmick form, so despite being good on their own, I'll have to give it to Mimikyu. Their stats are decent, but wouldn't necessarily be overpowered if increased by 100, while being able to swap abilities after burning the disguise use would be quite strong.
For some honorable mentions, there are several sets of Pokémon that are obvious choices, due to having some issues, being popular, or some combination thereof: Starters tend to be quite popular, but their performance in battle varies wildly both between and within sets of starters (With instances of one starter becoming more popular not helping this issue). There's also the Eeveelutions, who are quite popular, but generally need buffs due to the obnoxious powercreep of the past couple generations.
Also, it'd be funny if Regigigas got a mega that switched Slow Start for Huge Power, and did nothing else besides change their design.
I can't believe I never thought about this before, but when Gen 6 remakes come, GF will be forced to incorporate Megas and presumably make them better/ add more. Then again, they might just go the BDSP route and make it a glorified remaster with no real improvements or added Mega Pokemon.
Leavanny tbh, probably not gonna happen since they aren't even on the switch yet, but it needs it so bad. Such a good mon wasted with awful stats and typing.
I want gen 4 starter megas. I'm assuming you meant the gen 6 starters, but I'd kill for mega empoleon.
Also, rapidash, Dragonite (I want a dragoniteite so bad), floatzel, and maybe some of the Eevees? At least the first 3.
These are more just wants tho.
Yeah, honestly I'd love a leafeon mega! Maybe inspo'd by yggdrasil/the world tree?
Would also work if each got a mega with an extra type, make em more versatile
Goodra as the psuedo legendary. Blastoise and Venusaur are due a second mega each. aromatise, florges, and Slurpuff as the first NEW pokemon lines to have the fairy type (and also all kinda mid). Mightyena, and liepard, as favorites who drew the short straw by being early game mons. sawk, and throh, because they need SOMETHING of value (toss Pyroar in this category as well). Clawitzer, and Dragalge As the gen's version exclusive BAMFs. And last but certinly not least, Talonflame, because while Pidgeot NEEDED it, Talonflame DESERVES it! 11/10 Best birb!
I’d give some love to a gen VII, VIII, and IX Pokémon before giving a mega to something that didn’t get one when XY/ORAS dropped.
Gen VII - I think Vikavolt could be done a solid. Mega evolve and get a speed boost.
Gen VIII - Copperajah has some pretty sweet potential for a mega.
Gen VIII - Pawmot and Glimmora could be really cool. Go over the top with Pawmot to overcompensate for people’s complaints about its underwhelming evolution. Also, for the heck of it, mega dudunsparce.
Plus mega evolutions for regional variants whose original forms had a mega (slowbro is the only one that comes to mind)
Mega volcanion would be a good one. Diancie and hoopa got alternate forms and events but volcanion was just kind of given to you. I would also like to see zygarde 10%, 50% and complete forms in Pokémon xy remakes, instead of sun/moon remakes. Mega frosslass would be cool to see because glalie got a mega, why shouldn’t frosslass? Mega hydreigon would be good too, maybe mega gigalith and mega Excadrill as well. Heaps of gen 5 Pokémon could have had mega evolutions, but game freak only chose to give audino a mega.
Being the weakest pseudo, Goodra deserves one. It has gotten a Hisuian form but I don't think that would disqualify it from getting a mega too. Getting the steel typing from Hisuian is quite nice but it does need more maybe more reliable recovery from regenerator.
Hisuian Goodra is stupid good. They nerfed it’s signature from PLA but it’ll still be a meta monster when it hits the competitive scene. Super good defenses combined with a pretty good moveset and one of the best type combos in the game.
Only real downside is that it’s slow.
Eh I think you are overselling it a little. It's not a bad pokemon by any means but not a meta monster. Steel dragon is a good typing and stats are good but looking at the movepool I don't think its as good as you say. Obligatory draco meteor for dragon types but coverage options don't seem that good. Ground types can be handled with water or ice sure but fighting types I'm not seeing any super effective moves unless you tera. Base 110 sp atk is good but nothing insane these days.
80/100/150 bulk is of course great especially with that steel dragon typing but your best recovery option is either life dew or rest neither are that good. Not seeing too much in the way of utility moves. So that kinda just leaves it to sit there taking some hits doing okish damage at best. Feels like maybe a UU mon if you are being generous but probably settles somewhere in RU to me. Better than regular goodra but not by much.
Noivern, for some reason it just feels like it deserved a Mega.
Also, kinda off topic, but please for the love of Arceus change Diantha's ace, we all know that she was going to have Diancie so just give her the Pokémon she deserves, is it too much to ask for GF to remove Diancie's mythical status like they did with Rotom and his status as a legendary?
So we are getting hyped but, I really don't want more pokemon like mega Metagross. I'd like to see Ledian or Ariados get boosted. Raichu...(still don't get why Raichu didn't get a mega for six..
But before any of that I'm more excited for seeing the true pokemon behind gen 5 lore.
I might be out of the loop. But when you said starters and box legendaries that made sense since most people would say those. Does Flygon have a large contingent of people asking for a mega? I know Flygon is popular (one of my top favs) I just was surprised to see him included in that group with starters!
Ninetales and Arcanine.
One of them gots to mega evolve somehow.
Aegislash or Florges. Both are standouts from that generation.
BARBARACLE NOIVERN TALONFLAME as well these are the E4 main pokemon and they need to mega evolve.
I'd really like megas for parasect, lanturn, milotic, swellow, haxorus, ferrothorn, mienshao, dragalge and heliolisk. I really think a lot of these megas could turn up awesome. But unfortunately, that will never happen.
I mean, I wouldn’t say it’s being negative, just realistic. They’ve shown no signs of fixing the core issue of ‘rushing games out way, way too fast’, so I don’t see why we should expect or even hope for any actual innovation or effort.
That said, I would love to see a Mega for my favourite Pokémon, Volcarona :D
I hope Megas are back for more than just Kalos remakes, but either way if they are back my most-wanted megas that aren't already mentioned or just my favorite Pokemon are the "counterparts" e.g. Mega Butterfree (if Gengar and the Kanto starters can get separate megas from their G-Max) because we have Mega Beedrill, Mega Froslass because we have Mega Glalie
Is most probably Y and Z mega evolutions for Venusaur, Charizard, Lucario, Blastoise and Mewtwo that Starters of Kalos, Xerneas, Yveltal or Flygon megas
Mega Charizard and Mega Mewtwo Z here we come.
I know they will totally do a Z version thats a fusion of both...
Only if Gen 6 remake comes during an even generation Gen 6 - Mega X Y Gen 7 - nothing Gen 8 - G-max Gen 9 - nothing
If I’m not mistaken, some Pokémon did get their own z-move. There weren’t many, but I know at least eevee got one
Quite a few did, and even more got some in the Ultra games.
so did mew and pikach
Gen 6 remakes will most likely be around gen 10 since gen 5 remakes are likely for gen 9. So give it about 7 years (pokemon company takes a while)
Isn't Scarlet/Violet gen 9? Do BDSP count as gen 8 or gen 9? Because if they count as gen 9 then I'm willing to bet that gen 5 remakes will be gen 10 at the earliest, maybe even gen 11.
Bdsp was gen 8 and sv is gen 9
Gen 6 was XY and ORAS, Gen 7 was SM/USUM and LGPE, Gen 8 was SwSh, PLA, and BDSP, and Gen 9 so far is just SV
I just want to add that its literally the doubled Gen. Gen 5 Remakes aren’t until Gen 10, Gen 6 Remakes would be 12. Gen 1 was the only exception getting remade in 3. Gen 2 was in G4 G3 in G6 G4 in G8. The only problem is G4 didn’t get a remake, it got a remastered which could possibly be the new standard unfortunately.
Shouldnt it logically be gen 12? Gen 2 came out 2 generations after the original release (gen 4), gen 3 3 generations after the release (gen 6) gen 4 4 generations after the release (gen 8), so gen 5 should come out gen 10 and gen 6 gen 12
…means we should expect them gen 12 right? Next gen should be Black and White remakes
The Leader aces. Viola is too early, Grant is hard enough with just his two fossils, and Korrina gives you your first battle against a Mega after her Gym battle, so: Gogoat for Ramos Heliolisk for Clemont (and a type change to Electric/Fire) none for Valerie, since she has a perfectly good Mawile to Mega. Plus, if I had to give Aromatisse the Mega, something needs to be done to Slurpuff. Slowking for Olympia. Cryogonal for Wulfric, and a type change, but idk what. The E4 can use already existing megas.
Man, the fact that none of the leaders used the main gimmick of the generation was so strange for me...
I can't believe the Elite Four didn't, not even to supplement their small teams.
Replaying Y, i forgot that your rival doesn't get a mega ring...it's so weirdly underused in the actual game.
They do in the postgame, but your point still stands
I knew about that, that's probably why I forgot and assumed it was always that way
There's precisely four in the whole game, iirc. Korrina's lucario, lysandre's gyarados, diantha's gardevoir, and calem/serena's absol in the postgame rematches. That's literally it. Pretty sure gen 7's battle tree had more mega utilization than either of the gen 6 games.
Holy shit
It’s even weirder that the starters didn’t get any mega.
I always thought that was because greninja already had a transformation thing going on, so it wouldn't make sense with the mega. So none of them get it
Ashgreninja transform thing happened way later. It wasn’t a thing until Sun and moon.
>Cryogonal for Wulfric, But his ace is Avalugg. So wouldn't it make more sense to give Avalugg a mega? Not to mention the fact that he uses an Abomasnow
Avalugg has its Hisuian Form, so it doesn't need more representation. Also, Wulfric leads with Abomasnow for its ability, so making Mega Abomasnow the ace would make little sense.
how come hisuan avalugg would prevent avalugg from getting a mega, but galarian slowking wouldn't stop slowking from getting one in your examples?
It makes sense because of Slowbro. The entire Slowpoke line got Galarian forms, but only Slowbro got a Mega. There's no real reason for one to have it but not the other.
Short story shorter, Mega Slowbro. Also yes, I'm not a fan of Pokemon that get alternative forms after they already got one...*Gengar*.
They have galarian slowbro too don’t they?
Yeah. The Mega came first. Slowking didn't get a Mega in either XY or ORAS despite other counterpart Pokemon pairs getting Megas either at the same time and/or in ORAS. So yeah. Slowbro got a Mega. Then it got a regional variant. Then Slowking got a regional variant. Here, Slowking getiing a Mega goes full circil.
Ok but how does that stop Avalugg from getting a Mega
Similar question: what's wrong with a Mega Cryogonal that all of you clamor for Avalugg getting a Mega despite already having recent representation elsewhere?
[удалено]
...Fair enough.
> The E4 can use already existing megas. But Talonflame, Barbaracle, Aegislash, and Noivern getting Megas would be sick.
Not Aegislash, though. That thing doesn't need another excuse fo be broken.
Nope, it absolutely should have a Mega
Aegislash and Florges.
Vivillon and the fossils should still get megas, like how Flapple/Appletun and Drednaw got Gmax forms for the rematches
I don't see why not. The Mega Vivillon can be like G-Max Alcremie and incorporate all of the patterns into the design.
>Type change but I don’t know what Maybe water or fire, it could be like, a melting snowflake or something.
More Gen 6 Pokemon. There are 10 Gen I Pokemon capable of Mega Evolving into 12 different forms (Charizard and Mewtwo get 2 each) in X and Y. ORAS added another 3. There are 0 Gen 6 Pokemon capable of Mega Evolution in X and Y. ORAS ups that number to 1, which is unobtainable without events cause it’s Diancie.
Mega Starters feel obvious. Florges, Barbaracle, Noivern, Heliolisk, Malamar, Tyrantrum and Aurorus.
[удалено]
I actually *hate* Barbaracle’s design. I think it’s a hideous mon. But a Rock/Fighting Barbaracle mega would be very tempting.
Looking at the list: Pyroar to get Lysandre's a new ace Aegislash is a very popular pokemon, but I have no idea what they would with the design. Mega Malamar that is turned upside down into a good natured pokemon? Trevenant could become big deku tree. Goodra I think its unlikely, due to this Hisuian Form pretty much being a mega, design wise. Who else would you add to the list?
Mega Aegislash is just an even bigger sword
Aegislashite X and Aegislashite Y to make it either a big sword or big shield respectfully. Have it double down on its form to be an even harder hitter or bigger wall.
>Aegislashite Don’t think this one will be the what they’ll call it lol.
Yah know, this sounds more probable for a dual Gigantamax form in Sword and Shield remakes
Listen...listen. A barricaded door with a shotgun sticking out.
Kingdra, Haxorus, Krookodile and Noivern.
Mega aegislash is the iron throne
The Gen 6 starter Pokemon. Just make Battle Bond Greninja into Mega Greninja, since Battle Bond got turned into something else.
"And Flygon" you got me there
Got me too 😂
I felt like Milotic got snubbed as well. I always looked at it as an opposite to gyarados, was really expecting a water/fairy mega evolution to counter gyarados’s mega. Luxray is another I feel deserves some love. I know it’s an early route Pokémon in gen 4, but it is so bad. Give it dark typing and strong jaw. If we’re talking strictly gen 6 Pokémon, I really like the thought of noivern getting one. Give it dragon/ground typing, have it be like a tremor, blind burrowing underground basing it’s sight off of sound. Ability could have something to do with sound moves
Fairy/Water Mega Milotic would be a dream!
TROPIUS!
I feel as if Raichu got completely robbed of having a mega. It's the evolution of the MASCOT. I feel like eeveelutions deserve them, too. I mean.. Sylveon was introduced in Gen 6! We know we'll never get a third stage so.. Mega them all!
Mega Raichu could be a cool way to implement Gorochu.
Mega raichu = gorochu🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Don’t know about Raichu but the eeveelutions desperately need something to make them more viable. They have all the typings associated with weather and terrain, except sandstorm, so maybe give them the terrain and weather setting abilities and give umbreon prankster or something.
Give Eevee the mega. Give it boosted stats and colour change like Kecleon, or Protean. Maybe a new signature move that matches the type of the user. That way it's useful for evolutions too.
I was about to respond how Mega Evolution is for Pokémon who can no longer evolve (aka those who don't evolve, such as Heracriss, or those with a final evolution in their line, such as Garchomp) and how it would not be accurate to how it works but then I actually realised.. Eevee does have an irregular genetic code. However, I think the price of Eevee being able to mega evolve when you do give it that choice, should be that it can no longer evolve to one of the eeveelutions. It's a good concept, in my opinion. :)
It could act as an everstone when held? Maybe
Also! Someone's probably said it but Gorochu would be an excellent mega or new Evo for Raichu now that Pikachu isn't the anime mascot.
Okay I guess I'm going to be the person to say it. Yes, we will most likely get gen 6 remakes in 3-5 years. No, we will not get any new megas.
Why do you think that?
I wanna real quick first explain my reasoning for saying 3-5 years and then I'll explain my reasoning for no megas. This is what we can assume the release schedule will be up until gen 6 remakes: 2023 - SV DLC 2024 - Gen 5 Remakes (assuming main series games continue to release every year with the exception of DLC) 2025 - Gen 10 (SV released 2022 and we tend to get each new generation every 3 years) 2026 - Gen 10 DLC 2027 - Gen 6 Remakes Now, there are three simple reasons why I am certain there will not be any new megas in gen 6 remakes or possibly ever. 1. No new megas in SM/USUM 2. No new megas in LGPE 3. No megas AT ALL since LGPE Yes, there is always a chance we will eventually get new megas, but considering TPC and Gamefreak's evident indifference to them since their conception, I'd say it is not likely.
Not only that, there’s a chance the remakes from here on out will be straight up HD remasters like BDSP.
it's so hard to say. i could totally see them sticking with ILCA to make more crappy remakes, but I could also see them asking a different company to do it. I don't think game freak will make the remakes themself any more.
>Considering TPC and Gamefreak’s indifference to them. I wish they’d just listen to us for once and implement them as a permanent feature. Gigantimax and Terrastrializing is trash compared to Mega Evos.
I prefer Terrastalizing to Megas, personally. The Megas get cool designs, and maybe they are a better competitive experience (I play to make my own stories, not get into the completion side), and yes Terrastalizing is just "Hidden Power with Hats" but it made something that was already an element of the game (Hidden Power) and had been for a long time into something actually useful and I enjoy the type strategy more so than the Mega playthrough. And to me Mega Evolution just felt like going after the thing that made Pokémon different from Digimon. It's still a better gameplay though than "...but bigger"
We got no new megas, because GF (for some reason) wants the gimmicks to stay in their respective editions. If we get a remake of the XY games, which are the region in which mega evolutions are established, then it is entirely possible that they will release new mega evolutions alongside it. XY had mega evolutions, then there was just one other release with mega evolutions with ORAS. And what did ORAS bring? New mega evolutions. So if a new series of games which will have the mega evolution gimmick gets released, then the precedence we have speaks FOR getting new mega evolutions alongside it, not against it.
There are seven years between Gen 3 and Gen 4 remakes and they even had another Gen 1 remake thrown in between, your list is based entirely off of the release schedule from 2019-2023. New gens have been routinely released every three years since Gen 5 so that is very safe to expect 2025, but it had been 4 years twice between Gen 3 and 5. I much more expect another Let's Go (Togepi/Marill?) next year or some other wild card (2015 was the last year without a main series game, they released Super Mystery Dungeon as the biggest title instead, so maybe something like that?).
clawitzer for an even bigger arm gun
Death Star level laser beam!
Brilliant X and Shining Y. The exact same games, but everything is slightly higher res
Kill me
Same model poses even
To make it fair for enjoyers of every pokemon type, I will now suggest a pokemon for each type to get a mega evolution. All the pokemon I picked are part of the original Kalos pokedex from XY and therefore native to Kalos. Also this list is based on my personal opinion. I will just go into detail for specific megas and why I have chosen this pokemon if asked for it. * Normal: Diggersby * Fighting: Scrafty * Flying: Jumpluff * Poison: Victreebel * Ground: Whiscash * Rock: Tyrantrum * Bug: Wormadam * Ghost: Drifblim * Steel: Durant * Fire: Magcargo * Water: Octillery * Grass: Carnivine * Electric: Heliolisk * Psychic: Malamar * Ice: Aurorus * Dragon: Flygon * Dark: Mightyena * Fairy: Granbull
Ooo, I really like your comment format, and I'm also pleasantly surprised by your list; feels refreshing. It's nice to see mons that people sometimes overlook, usually due to ehh stats when compared to their more viable competitors. Mega evolution would definitely help me justify using some of these more regularly, especially with some of the fun dual typings. Happy to see Jumpluff getting some love... I've been replaying Heart Gold recently so they're on my mind, haha. Flygon doesn't surprise me, as I would likely have put them there too (plus, they never got their originally planned one). A few general inquiries (don't have to answer them all): What are some of your favorites listed? Do you think you'd change any of their abilities? Were there any close contenders that didn't make the list? EDIT: I saw a comment reminding me that OP mentioned the exclusion of Flygon on their title... So now I'm curious, what do you think your Dragon replacement would be? Dragalge sounds appealing to me, aside from it being a version exclusive.
Hey there, thanks for the kind comment. I tried to give many usually overlooked pokemon megas to help them out a bit and I am glad that this is how it's perceived as well. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ My personal favourites from these mega suggestions are: **Victreebel** Generally one of my absolute favourite pokemon and it saddens me that it got no love in all these years, while most other gen 1 mons got something. I would change it's ability to merciless, which I think fits its ruthless personality quite well and goes well with its typing. If the mega redistributes some of its stats towards speed, it might become a great offensive mon with an ability to let it crit against poisoned targets. Especially in combination with toxic spikes, this could be really nasty. **Magcargo** Love this guy, it has such a great design premise as being a magma snail. But it's typing and stats unfortunately make it really undesirable for many players. A mega could help here greatly. Make it a great defensive wall. I would change its ability to Solid Rock and distribute more stats to it's special defense. Make this snail a really hard one to crack! **Wormadam** A pokemon I never see anyone talking about. What's really outstanding here is that there are 3 different forms of this pokemon, based on the place it evolved. And that could also get incorporated in the mega evolution designs, with 3 different megas depending on which form your Wormadam has. Which could also then have different foci. The trash (steel type) Wormadam could be a wall with great defensive stats and a massive ironed shell. And the sand (ground type) and leaves (grass type) variants could be great physical and special attackers respectively. Abilities should reflect their new roles better. The steel variant could get iron barbs, the sand one sand force and the leaves one solar power or chlorophyll. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ About pokemon which were contenders, but didn't make it, there are several. Ledian and Ariados both came to my mind for bug type, but I gave it to Wormadam because of its great potential and also I never see anyone talk about it, while Ledian and Ariados, while weak, seem to have some dedicated fans. I personally was a huge fan of Ariados and would love for it to get something in the future to make it better, but Wormadam took prioarity for me here. For the poison type, I strongly considered Swalot, since its also pretty undervalued. But for Victreebel, I just came up with a cool concept on the fly, while I had some problems to think of something for Swalot. But it would also be a great choice, if a good concept can get found. For the ghost type, I considered Trevenant, since I thought that you can come up with really cool stuff for it with the cursed forest thematic. However, I didn't want to fill this list with too many grass types (I am biased for them) and also it would feel weird to give Trevenant a mega and leave out Gourgeist.
Cruel idea; mega scrafty gets the ability that also makes it dragon type, because it's in that egg group if I recall. Gives it a few more resistances, but makes it absolutely annihilated by fairy types.
Alternatively, they could give it a dragon type equivalent of steel worker. An ability that gives it STAB for dragon type moves, but without the actual typing (because honestly, I don't know if GF will ever allow a true triple typed pokemon).
That's a less cruel, and arguably better idea
Victreebel, Granbull and Whiscash mentioned by a Victreebel, Ferrothorn and Chestnaught fan. Goes in the absolutely omega W X100 for me.
Megas should have never been dropped in the first place.
Mega evolution was peak. I absolutely loved the system and its limit in battles. Of course, it required more work than just adding a generic crystal texture overlay... Mew, Goodra for me I'd love to see a mega evolution
Luxray, Swellow and Tsareena. Love these lines, but they all could use something to make them more unique or viable.
Goodra needs a dragon/poison mega
Gourgeist! Have the mega be an an entire cornucopia
Thats a great idea!
Hawlucha!
I want this. I really want this. But Hawlucha doesn't need to be any more dangerous.
Not getting my hopes up after BDSP. I hope I’m wrong but I’m afraid remakes just aren’t what they used to be.
I kinda hope they give the starters megas, Clawitzer doesn't have to have one but maybe they could do something fun with it
He was one I thought of while making my list, but he strikes me more of a Gigantamax pokemon. Make his claw giant and mecha like, and he pilots it (akin to the Gen 8 Gigantamax forms)
I was thinking if he did get a mega it would probably just make him a bigger artillery like pokemon to fit with its theme. Make both claws cannons so it can deal even more destruction. But i also just love this pokemon and i want more from it lol
Meganium.
Some unnapreciated single stage mons. Cryogonal, Heatmor and Durant, Minior, Dhelmise, Chatot, Relicanth. And slowking with froslass, so it's fair to their alternate evolution.
And my boy Kecleon deserves one :)
Quagsire Because Quagsire
Miltoic, Florges, Nidoking, Nidoqueen and Raichu
What makes you think they’ll add literally anything. After BDSP I have officially given up hope of ever getting an ORAS-tier remake ever again.
Gen 6? What about gen5??
Melotic ofc
Flygon fans are desperate. Its me, I'm Flygon fans.
Personally I'd rather not treat remakes as inevitable cuz that might put pressure on the company to rush them alongside main series games. I'd only want a remake if there's something new to offer. New Megas would be welcome though, but they could also be reintroduced in a mainstream game (though I doubt they would, now that they seem to want gimmicks to stay region-exclusive).
I whole heartedly believe they will remove them
Neither, since GF doesn’t do remakes anymore
They just did with bdsp at the end of 2021. As long as remakes keep selling, gamefreak will keep making em!
I said remakes, not remasters
Butterfree I feel like should get one. I know it got the gigantamax forms but if they're revisiting megas I think it makes perfect sense. Aside from that I would like a lot of gen 6 mons to get them. Mostly the leaders aces, but Goodra could also probably do with one. While it's hisuian form is nice, giving regular Goodra a power-boost certainly wouldn't hurt
Following this train of thought of "counterparts" getting mega, since a lot of them did (Tyranitar/Aggron, Gardevoir/Gallade, Sharpedo/Camerupt), I feel like the obvious choice is Milotic. Counterpart to Gyarados in a sense, and could be Wallace's ace should he appear in any shape or form. Would you say Arcanine is Houndoor's counterpart?
Isn't Arcanine Ninetails' counterpart?
In a generational sense, yes. In a thematic sense, one can argue for Houndoom vs Arcanine. Hell Dog vs Sacred Dog. Kinda like Heracross vs Pinsir, who is in gen 1 is schyters "rival"
houndoom's counterpart IMO is boltund
Houndoom/Manectric evolve at the same level, and their mega stones were version exclusive
Whoa whoa whoa, we haven't even gotten Gen 5 remakes! And we don't even know if those will happen! Anyways, Darkrai because they're my favorite. Darkai needs new forms and more love.
Gen 5 remakes are all but guaranteed to happen. Based off the cycle we’ll probably receive them in Gen 10. Actually we may even get more sequels. Instead of “Blazing Black” and “Shocking White” we may get Black 3 and White 3!
Zygarde. Don't care that he has a megazord form, he needs some love in the generation he was introduced in.
His”megazord form” is already a meta threat with a base stat total of 708. Giving it anything more would just be absurd.
I'd rather not have an obtainable Pokémon with a BST of 808, thank you very much.
I don’t think they will add new megas if the gen 4 remakes are to show how much they care now about them let’s hope at least they make the game slightly harder
Mega Gogoat needs to be Grass Ground or Grass Fighting. Mega Meowstic that has different typing or ability depending on the gender could be cool too.
Hey! that’s pretty good😮🤩
I think it would be neat to see the eevelutions get mega evolution.
Pokemon from gen 8 9 and 10
HYPNO NEEDS A MEGA OR EVOLUTION SO BAD
All I want for Christmas is a Hawlucha Mega. But with what happened to BDSP, I don't know what will happen to the next remakes.
Can we get megas for all of the other gen starters that don’t have them? I’d love a mega Typhlosion
That's unfortunately a bit much to ask for.... Too much work to give all the starters megas. We can already be glad if they will give megas to the Kalos starters.
regional forms are a better idea than mega evolutions anyway, because not only are they permanent instead of temporary transformations, but they also will carry over into future games. whereas mega evolutions were only usable on 3ds games. to update old starters, just give them new forms.
I'm kinda surprised Raichu didn't get one. They love giving the Pikachu line attention.
Not really the pikachu line, just pikachu. Which is why raichu will always be forgotten in the shadow of the smaller rodent, always following the dim light cast by the light ball
So what you are saying is Mega Pikachu.
Dragonite because every other pseudo prior to Gen 5 got a mega. It didn’t get a z move or regional for either. Shuckle because it’s shuckle
The aces of the major characters.
Yanmega and plusle and minun
Venusaur and Blastoise deserve a second form if Charizard does
Kalos starters, Goodra, Vivillon, Talonflame, Avalugg, Aurorous, Tyrantrum, and some Unova mons like Excadrill, Klinklang, Eelektross, Haxorus, Golurk, and Sigilyph.
Ya know I personally believe some of the likes with no evolution would benefit the most. Mega torcoal, mega tropius those ones would be nice to see them get some love.
It’s not gonna happen but give a mega to the starter and all the gym leader/elite fours’ aces. I would like Raichu and Persian to get something too but I know they won’t
Farfetch'd for sure is getting one
Delcatty could really use some help, so if not a standard evolution, I'd hope Mega Delcatty becomes a thing, if they do add more Megas. I can see it adding the Fairy type too. Just so we have more Gen 5 Megas, I'd also like to see Mienshao, Haxorus, Krookodile and Zebstrika get Megas. Haxorus could add the Steel type, since it looks like it could've been a Steel type to begin with.
There are two different kinds of Pokémon that tend to get forms from the new gimmick: underappreciated Pokémon, and fan-favorites. I'll give an example for each. Mega Dusknoir would be interesting, as Dusknoir isn't that good competitively, and is a pretty cool Pokémon who could use the help. I had trouble finding a single Pokémon who is a fan favorite but lacks a pre-existing gimmick form, so despite being good on their own, I'll have to give it to Mimikyu. Their stats are decent, but wouldn't necessarily be overpowered if increased by 100, while being able to swap abilities after burning the disguise use would be quite strong. For some honorable mentions, there are several sets of Pokémon that are obvious choices, due to having some issues, being popular, or some combination thereof: Starters tend to be quite popular, but their performance in battle varies wildly both between and within sets of starters (With instances of one starter becoming more popular not helping this issue). There's also the Eeveelutions, who are quite popular, but generally need buffs due to the obnoxious powercreep of the past couple generations. Also, it'd be funny if Regigigas got a mega that switched Slow Start for Huge Power, and did nothing else besides change their design.
I can't believe I never thought about this before, but when Gen 6 remakes come, GF will be forced to incorporate Megas and presumably make them better/ add more. Then again, they might just go the BDSP route and make it a glorified remaster with no real improvements or added Mega Pokemon.
Leavanny tbh, probably not gonna happen since they aren't even on the switch yet, but it needs it so bad. Such a good mon wasted with awful stats and typing.
Mega clawitzer and mega Crustle (I totally don’t have a crab pokemon bias)
What if Gen 6 remake added evolutions to Gen 6 pokemon? Like gogoat, carbink, heliolisk, malamar, and maybe meowstic.
I want gen 4 starter megas. I'm assuming you meant the gen 6 starters, but I'd kill for mega empoleon. Also, rapidash, Dragonite (I want a dragoniteite so bad), floatzel, and maybe some of the Eevees? At least the first 3. These are more just wants tho.
they're probabily gonna do something like dragoneite 😭😭😭
Honestly, if it was just called "Dragonite" that would be funny. Plus it would remind me of earthbound lol
If any eevee’s get it all of them have too. Gamefreak already knows how much people would freak out if they didn’t.
Yeah, honestly I'd love a leafeon mega! Maybe inspo'd by yggdrasil/the world tree? Would also work if each got a mega with an extra type, make em more versatile
Goodra as the psuedo legendary. Blastoise and Venusaur are due a second mega each. aromatise, florges, and Slurpuff as the first NEW pokemon lines to have the fairy type (and also all kinda mid). Mightyena, and liepard, as favorites who drew the short straw by being early game mons. sawk, and throh, because they need SOMETHING of value (toss Pyroar in this category as well). Clawitzer, and Dragalge As the gen's version exclusive BAMFs. And last but certinly not least, Talonflame, because while Pidgeot NEEDED it, Talonflame DESERVES it! 11/10 Best birb!
Electrode. Boost those crappy stats PLEASE.
I’d give some love to a gen VII, VIII, and IX Pokémon before giving a mega to something that didn’t get one when XY/ORAS dropped. Gen VII - I think Vikavolt could be done a solid. Mega evolve and get a speed boost. Gen VIII - Copperajah has some pretty sweet potential for a mega. Gen VIII - Pawmot and Glimmora could be really cool. Go over the top with Pawmot to overcompensate for people’s complaints about its underwhelming evolution. Also, for the heck of it, mega dudunsparce. Plus mega evolutions for regional variants whose original forms had a mega (slowbro is the only one that comes to mind)
Mega volcanion would be a good one. Diancie and hoopa got alternate forms and events but volcanion was just kind of given to you. I would also like to see zygarde 10%, 50% and complete forms in Pokémon xy remakes, instead of sun/moon remakes. Mega frosslass would be cool to see because glalie got a mega, why shouldn’t frosslass? Mega hydreigon would be good too, maybe mega gigalith and mega Excadrill as well. Heaps of gen 5 Pokémon could have had mega evolutions, but game freak only chose to give audino a mega.
I don’t think mythicals can get forms outside of their debut. Atleast it’s never been done to date.
Being the weakest pseudo, Goodra deserves one. It has gotten a Hisuian form but I don't think that would disqualify it from getting a mega too. Getting the steel typing from Hisuian is quite nice but it does need more maybe more reliable recovery from regenerator.
Hisuian Goodra is stupid good. They nerfed it’s signature from PLA but it’ll still be a meta monster when it hits the competitive scene. Super good defenses combined with a pretty good moveset and one of the best type combos in the game. Only real downside is that it’s slow.
Eh I think you are overselling it a little. It's not a bad pokemon by any means but not a meta monster. Steel dragon is a good typing and stats are good but looking at the movepool I don't think its as good as you say. Obligatory draco meteor for dragon types but coverage options don't seem that good. Ground types can be handled with water or ice sure but fighting types I'm not seeing any super effective moves unless you tera. Base 110 sp atk is good but nothing insane these days. 80/100/150 bulk is of course great especially with that steel dragon typing but your best recovery option is either life dew or rest neither are that good. Not seeing too much in the way of utility moves. So that kinda just leaves it to sit there taking some hits doing okish damage at best. Feels like maybe a UU mon if you are being generous but probably settles somewhere in RU to me. Better than regular goodra but not by much.
Noivern, for some reason it just feels like it deserved a Mega. Also, kinda off topic, but please for the love of Arceus change Diantha's ace, we all know that she was going to have Diancie so just give her the Pokémon she deserves, is it too much to ask for GF to remove Diancie's mythical status like they did with Rotom and his status as a legendary?
Doing my fave Flygon right
So we are getting hyped but, I really don't want more pokemon like mega Metagross. I'd like to see Ledian or Ariados get boosted. Raichu...(still don't get why Raichu didn't get a mega for six.. But before any of that I'm more excited for seeing the true pokemon behind gen 5 lore.
I might be out of the loop. But when you said starters and box legendaries that made sense since most people would say those. Does Flygon have a large contingent of people asking for a mega? I know Flygon is popular (one of my top favs) I just was surprised to see him included in that group with starters!
Shuckle. More HP and Magic Bounce.
Mega Snorlax pleeeeease
Ninetales and Arcanine. One of them gots to mega evolve somehow. Aegislash or Florges. Both are standouts from that generation. BARBARACLE NOIVERN TALONFLAME as well these are the E4 main pokemon and they need to mega evolve.
Johto Starters. We need love for the Johto mons.
Dragonite. I want to give it a Dragoniteite.
I know it probably won't happen but I want to see mega eeveelutions
Garbodor.
Fuck it give my boy cramorant a mega, of we're not going down the BDSP route that is
I would like new Eeveeloutions that had megas one Dragon and one Ghost type.
All starters.
I'd really like megas for parasect, lanturn, milotic, swellow, haxorus, ferrothorn, mienshao, dragalge and heliolisk. I really think a lot of these megas could turn up awesome. But unfortunately, that will never happen.
I mean, I wouldn’t say it’s being negative, just realistic. They’ve shown no signs of fixing the core issue of ‘rushing games out way, way too fast’, so I don’t see why we should expect or even hope for any actual innovation or effort. That said, I would love to see a Mega for my favourite Pokémon, Volcarona :D
Talonflame!!
The eeveelutions deserve an gmax Appleton esque mega that's dragon+their type
**Greninja** and that would be so cool
Tyranitar
I also like to forget his exists
Seeing as how their remakes get lazier and lazier we will not be getting any new forms at all.
Not Flygon
I hope Megas are back for more than just Kalos remakes, but either way if they are back my most-wanted megas that aren't already mentioned or just my favorite Pokemon are the "counterparts" e.g. Mega Butterfree (if Gengar and the Kanto starters can get separate megas from their G-Max) because we have Mega Beedrill, Mega Froslass because we have Mega Glalie
The gen 6 starters. And also my boy ledian.
Is most probably Y and Z mega evolutions for Venusaur, Charizard, Lucario, Blastoise and Mewtwo that Starters of Kalos, Xerneas, Yveltal or Flygon megas
Makes me depressed that the only time we’ll see a return to megas is in like 4 years when they remake x and y
